Sinus Lift Surgery

Sinus lift surgery is a bone augmentation procedure performed to increase bone height in the upper back jaw before dental implant placement. When the maxillary sinus is located close to the jawbone or significant bone loss has occurred after tooth loss, there may not be enough bone to support an implant. A sinus lift creates the necessary space for successful implant treatment.
During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently elevated, and bone graft material is placed beneath it. Over time, new bone forms around the graft, increasing the height and density of the upper jaw. Once healing is complete, dental implants can be placed securely with improved long-term stability.
Scientific evidence supports sinus lift surgery as a predictable procedure with high implant success rates in the posterior upper jaw. Bone regeneration following the graft provides adequate support for implants while maintaining the health of the surrounding sinus structures.

Benefits of Sinus Lift Surgery

• Increases bone height in the upper jaw.
• Creates sufficient support for dental implants.
• Improves long-term implant stability.
• Restores bone lost after tooth extraction.
• Expands treatment options for implant placement.
• Delivers predictable clinical outcomes.
